Patch antennas are one of the most attractive antennas for integrated RF front end systems due to their compatibility with microwave integrated circuits. To fulfill the demand of integrated RF front end systems, a design of microstrip patch antenna with optimum performance at 12 GHz is investigated. It is also investigated how the performance properties of a microstrip patch antenna are affecte...

Metamaterial is the arrangement of "artificial" elements in a periodic manner providing unusual electromagnetic properties. This unusual property has made it an area of interest for last few decades. It has wide applications in antennas. Gain, directivity, bandwidth, efficiency, and many other parameters of microstrip patch antenna can be improved using metamaterials. In this review paper, we f...

In recent years, microstrip antennas become very popular because of their interesting advantages of low cost, low profile, light weight, easy fabrication and ease of analysis. Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) substrate is used as a part of antenna structure to improve the performance of the patch antenna. Usually, the performance of a patch antenna depends on the parameters such as Return Loss (R...
